So who else caught themselves toes a tappin', head a bangin' and with a massive grin?
At first I thought it was going to be a joke cover, but that made my day.
@@susim4503Me too..made mine..😁👍
YES ITS A GREAT TOE TAPPER 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
This was the video which first turned me on to Steve N Seagulls. Love that wrench on the anvil, pure genius!
"Needs more anvil!" 😂
Clint Atkinson Haha!!! Good one!! 😂
Clint Atkinson 😄
Dave Letterman would have said "Great job on that anvil"
Who are you ? Phil Spector ? 😂😂🤣
"I got a fever! A fever for more anvil!"
They actually used only one microphone to record this, which is quite stunning!
Great microphone I guess...
I’m speachless. This is excellent on a whole different scale. LIVE !
This is just pure fun and makes me smile 😊 I can appreciate the talent level of these guys. I live in the Appalachian Mountains & Bluegrass is a very familiar thing for me!! Great choice Fil 👌🏼
Not usually a fan of covers but that was unique an impressive. Been a hardcore acdc fan allways
Big fan here also. My first introduction was when they came out with Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, still love that song.
I’m so happy to see respect for these guys. I was with Lars Ulrich and I asked him about these guys, and he loved them. He loves bands doing great and different covers of their songs.
What A great amount of fun these musicians are having! I love it!!
I was Thunderstruck myself when you said they were from Finland. Can't believe they aren't from the U.S.A.
for USA in the same style look at "hayseed dixie" ( a play on words on AC/DC like Streeve 'n seagulls" is a play on words on the actor! Hayseed is th-cam.com/video/-Pnp9RDHJWw/w-d-xo.html ( eye of the tiger originaly by survivor the "rocky" song)!
Their cover of Iron Maiden's "Trooper" is probably my favorite cover they do, especially since it makes so much sense using the folk instruments to help tell the "story".
I remember the first time I saw this video. It crack me up and at the same time it was a really good cover!
Roy Clark would have welcomed them on Her Haw! Probably joined in!
Omg so true! He woulda fit in, jammed all day and had a blast lol.
Her Haw is the gender swapped reboot.
Love that banjo!
Absolutely love this ❤️
Just when I thought I'd seen it all... These guys are really great!! Thanks Fil.
I like a lot of their covers...they do a great job on every one they do.
Everything they do is just as awesome!
Ahh! So cool you did this one. It’s my favorite of the much-covered Thunderstruck. Excellent analysis, as always from you! So glad you confirmed it was, indeed, live.
Saw them live on stage last year - greatest fun ever! I really recommend going!
I'm so happy to be introduced to a band from another part of the world, one that doesn't get common exposure in the US. We need it here. This band is fantastic. Thank you!
They're from FINLAND??? I never knew this. Brilliant!
How to tune The Anvil:
Find the right object to beat it with.
Crescent wrenches (used here) conveniently come as sets that progressively scale up in mass, just find the one that sings B when struck on your specific anvil.
Also, hitting different points on an anvil changes the resulting ring.
I’ve never seen Fil smile so much while watching a video! Love it!
I thought they were from Kentucky?
Could have fooled me.
But this is proof that a great song you can play in most any style.
My most favorite version of this song. You are a professor of music. I learned a lot from you tonight. Thanks.
He's excellent....also I would have guessed Kentucky, Tennessee, or North Carolina.
I was not expecting that... I loved it! Thank you for introducing them 😊
WOW! I love bluegrass, and these guys are awesome!
This was creative as hell!!! Fun and entertaining! Talented bunch of musicians! Tight and spot on musically and vocally! Loved the assortment of musical instruments they used. Absolutely LOVED it!! ACDC should be proud😎 Thanks Fil! You made my Saturday morning and put a smile on my face! Great knowledgeable Analysis! 😎🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦
These guys were barely born when this song came out...they come from another country where English is not their first language and they are playing in the style of the quintessential American sound of bluegrass. Gotta love music!!!! Thnx Fil !!!!
i seen this before i like it wow they rock they are lock in with each other ad tight epic
Have been fans of theirs for years. Saw them when they toured the US in 2015? Was one of the most entertaining concert I've been to in a long time.
This video always makes me smile. It is one of the few videos that I always play every time it pops up in the suggestions.
so much talent so little time to hear it all :) Love Blue grass love Ac Dc love cross over :)
I listen to these guys everytime I'm throwing back a few cold beers and sing along.
Thank you for reacting to this. I’ve been following these guys for a while - and this was the song that got me. Their musicianship is no joke.
The tractor is American, the bib overalls could have been made in Oshkosh Wisconsin. The banjo, mandolin and drums all could have been from America and these guys would look right at home playing at the Grand Ole Opry. Even Dolly Parton would book them at her amusement park in Tennessee. Who would have thought they are not an American band from the U.S.A.
That brand is international. Those type of tractors in Finland are British made and it has a strong reputation in that country. That 165 is an archaetypical one since it was their most popular model there back in the 70's. :) American made are a rarity.
@@onsesejoo2605 I thought it was a Massey Ferguson emblem on the front. Common farm tractors here in Iowa.
I realized that immediately. And changed the post. Ypu were a little top quick. Still want to build Tractor's mic. Theirs was metal bluegrass.
@@tenlittleindians It is MF 165, British made top 3 seller in Finland back in the day. :)
Massey-Ferguson came from a merger between a Canadian company and an Irish company. Our family had a MF 165 when I was growing up in Canada. Bulletproof.
This was unexpected and fun!! So cool!! Thanks for another great analysis !
That was great. They were having fun and it felt like it.
This is fabulous! Thank God for youtube. How else could we hear a bluegrass band from Finland playing Thunderstruck & other heavy metal classics on acoustic banjo, acoustic accordion, stand up bass & most important an acoustic anvil? How can a serious musician in the 21st century expect to sell multi-platinum albums without overdrive, distortion, fuzz & wah-wah pedals for his or her anvil? The only thing that Steve'n'Seagulls can offer is great musical skills & vocals & an incredible sense of humor.
What a fantastic good time, these guys are wonderful and make me smile😃
They blew me away the first time I heard this a few months ago. I think the accordion, anvil & the spoons were the icing on the cake for this one. Might I suggest that you take a listen to 2cellos "Thunderstruck" official video. You can tell from the video that there was layering done in studio, but you get the gist of these guys masterful playing of their instruments. They have a large catalog of songs they have covered, I think you would enjoy any one of them. There are also live videos and my favorite is 2cellos "Whole Lotta Love" [live Zagreb, Croatia] The sounds they have coming out of their cellos are totally awesome. Thanks, Phil!
Yes, Sir, its a mighty fine version, blew me away when I heard and saw it.
I wrote a blog post titled "Another Time, Another Pace" on reworks, rather than "covers" and this was included.
Kathy H Watch their cover of DIO “Holy Diver”
I agree , the 2Cellos Thunderstruck video is brilliant ! Not to mention funny as hell !
Sir, thank you once again for keeping a wide variety of music on your channel. The joy of hearing new music played so well will probably be against the law soon. It so interesting that these gentlemen are from Finland. The first 20 years of my life these guys were living in my neighborhood. (Joplin MO). As always be safe
I just love Steve 'n' Seagulls. Great music, great fun :)
For an live performance, friggin amazing. The banjo player never misses a note, the accordion nails it, even the spoons are "spot on".
Great analysis, thank you. Be safe.
Steve'n'Seagulls is a truly blow away band. Their renditions of rock/metal classics are so cool. Really excellent analysis Fil. As a musician, I really appreciate your detailed and insightful observations. Rock!!
I love all these odd ball versions of rock music absolutely brillant
I love these guys. I mean spoons and a wrench on anvil? Now that's music :-)
This band is so much fun. Their vids are great. Always love the arrival of the accordion guy.
Fil, I just started learning the riff a few days ago. This banjo dude just blew my mind. It's a challenge to pick every note, but it sounds so good compared to pull offs. Just do it. The nervous system gets confused with this open string business, but it can learn to deal with it. Banjo man did a great job. They all did. Great analysis, very entertaining.
Please do more from Steve'n'Seagulls. They are SOOOOO good!
Ha! That was fun and the analysis was so cool, too...got my keel back even after last night. Brilliant contrast.
I've been a fan of these guys since I saw this video a couple of years ago. Best cover band ever.
Your smile says it all
IF you EVER get the chance to see these guys ...IT"S A MUST~~ They put on the best shows... saw them in 2016 in Colorado...they're fucking amazing. Finland turns out some great musicians, and yes...they wear those exact clothes when they play... amazingly entertaining show.
The spoons😂😂the accordion 😂😂 and the lawnmower are gold.
I expected the guy on the lawnmower to ride up and say... Hey AC/DC! " You think you can do Thunderstruck? Hold my beer". They had a group of hillbillies from the U.S. down to a T. Great job!
Hold my moonshine...
The action on that long arm mountain harp is perfect.
It's got to be to be able to pull that off especially on this instrument.
Harmonies and timing are absolutely perfect.
They almost seem like they're classically trained with some of their techniques. They certainly have practiced this well and look at each other for the timing which is essential. Really amazing group!
These guys are awesomely talented musicians, they deserve the recognition. There are more videos of their covers around, check them out.
so glad you posted this I have shared this so many times on facebook this is absolutey the BEST reminds me of the Soggy Mountain Boys, who btw if you have not heard them I am sure you have... (oh brother where art thou sound track).... this is absolutely amazing, I used to know a guy who played the spoons as well and yell yea he wss a true HILLBILLY thanks FIL I am sure those who have never heard this are astonished!
You mean Soggy Bottom Boys?
yes lol no more champagne 😂😂😂
@@jojoz
Maybe playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown.😁
😂😂😂😂😂
No problem!
My favorite version.
Very Cool! Great video Fil!
True musicians..i want a hat like the bass player too
Just goes to show you. You can make music with anything. Anvil, spoons...
Great analysis video! As always. ❤️🤘🏼
Good analysis Fil. Another thing you see about this piece is the fact that it uses syncopation in parts (mostly the accordion), which they do very well, something not normally emphasized in Blue Grass music. It gives it that little extra interesting flavor. Thanks again for reminding me of this rendition. Keep up the good work!
They definitely put their own spin on it!. Great version, video and analysis! ^m^
Absolutely ❤️ this, Australian rock anthem from a group of Finns playing bluegrass 😊
Talent comes in many different ways. It sure put a smile on you! Btw congrats on getting to 116,000 subscribers! love ya😍💕👏🤗
Going to watch their concert in Gothenburg, Sweden in few weeks :)
Yeeeee Hawww! Thanks for this Fil! 😁 Just in time for the Houston Livestock and Rodeo. This is refreshing hearing a Finnish group playing Bluegrass. They are like Hayseed Dixie who formed in 2001 in Nashville, TN whose first album was A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC.🤘🏻❤️✌🏻
I remember recommending this video to you ages ago. I knew you would enjoy it. Glad you finally got to it.
Dude I saw this video 8 years ago. Still love it! Jams!
Ok 6 years ago.
FIL, THIS IS AN AWESOME VIDEO, HARD ROCK PLAYED IN A DIFFERENT WAY, WITH DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS, JUST KILLER HERE, YOUR GRAET COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS A PLUS, KEEP YOUR GREAT VIDEOS COMMING , YOU HAVE THE BEST YOU TUBE CHANNEL, YOU ALWAYS MAKE MY DAY, COUSIN FIGEL
Fil, I love it when a performance just makes you happy.
You can’t help but love these finnish bush men! 🤘🏻
EVERYONE should find their channel and watch all the vids...simply amazing covers of your favorite songs. All with a bluegrass kick! I like to call it Progressive Bluegrass!
This was actually freakin` awesome!!!!!
I always loved this! These guys are spot on with the notes and changeups! Love the anvil and spoons!
This is such a fun video. It's a humorous approach that is played so very well. I laugh out loud each time I watch.
Thanks for this analysis Fil. I was wanting your out take on this creative talent of wonder in a category all their own, like no others, since Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt. Lol. Loving it.👍😊
When you mentioned you didn't know how they tuned the anvil, I had to go back and look a little closer. The ring isn't coming from the anvil as much as it is from the wrench. By trying different size wrenches, you can get dialed into the note you want.
What a fun video of a bluegrass version of AC/DC Thunderstruck and accompanying analysis.
So much fun!
I remember when this version came out, and still think that if they had a moonshine jug in the band, they could have played in the Mayberry Jailhouse on Andy Griffith, people in the 60s would have liked it, also. Lol
For those interested Steve'n' Seagulls are playing at Byron Bay Blues Festival this Easter. (Australia)
Truly unique and super fun take on Accadaccas classic. I was watching the banjo pickers fingers and thought, damn that's some quick fingers right there. As always thanks for another brilliant analysis Fil.
*AC/DC
Ooo! You're a music science guy! Listening to musicians react is very nice, one gets much more insights to the song than us casual listeners do. I thought it was a neat trick to paly a metal song in greengrass genre, but my respect to the band grew up with this reaction even more.
Back around again. Great to see you again.
These guys are very good. The Hillbenders, a great bluegrass group did the entire The Who's Tommy. It's quite astounding. It's on TH-cam.
Fil I gotta say if I watch your facial expressions to any song I like that song so much more just because you seem to be really enjoying yourself which makes me enjoy it more as well.. Keep it going man!!
This was great. Can’t wait to check out more of their covers. Thanks Fil
Thanks!
You should check out covers by hayseed Dixie!! They do a whole album of ac/dc songs plus other albums that have motley crue and quite a few other rock and metal bands in bluegrass style.
I got their CD back when they were called A/C Dixie! They had to change their name.
My fav Hayseed Dixie song. th-cam.com/video/S8sgbPYaAnQ/w-d-xo.html
You should listen to Iron Maidens The Trooper by them.
First time hearing Steve'n'Seagulls! I get a jug/skittle band feel to this with bluegrass thrown in. I like the live jam session going on here. great analysis and homework on these guys. thanks Fil.
Blue Grass was very popular in the 80's, not my favorite genre, but these guys were good! Hey Filip, congrats @ 116 subs! Don't forget us little ppl that were there in the beginning, especially me, MUAH!
So happy u are reviewing this. Would have never expected u to do it. Sure u have seen some of their other songs as well.
The anvil will make a different sound depending what you use to hit it. A smaller, lighter wrench or a big hammer will sound different. Great video as always.
This is so cool!
Fil, great choice! I always love the energy and tightness of this performance. The drummer playing on a cocktail kit is neat too because his standing and bopping contributes to the frenetic feel. Thanks for the great analysis, Fil!
I forgot to tell you the band is called the gravel spreaders they do a badass bluegrass version of number of the beast , among a few other rock songs. They are really good, thanks for the love.
